Supernatural’s Jim Beaver hints at series future (video)

Jim Beaver— who plays Bobby Singer, the grizzled-but-loveable mentor to the Winchester boys on Supernatural— was slightly coy with the press concerning his character’s future on the series, ahead of the Comic-Con panel last week.

“He’s got obstacles that he’s never had to face before that are going to impact every aspect of his life and his relationship with the boys,” says Beaver.

“That’s vague, but vague doesn’t get my head handed to me by the producers.”

He did hint at some of the series changes coming out the three episodes he’s already filmed, and his involvement in the “apocalyptic” storyline during the upcoming season. Watch the roundtable we sat in on below:
